How to Remove Retweets from Your Twitter Feed and What Happens When You Do

“Retweets make up more than a quarter of all tweets. When they disappeared, my feed had less punch-the-button outrage. Fewer mean screenshots of somebody saying precisely the wrong thing. Less repetition of big, big news. Fewer memes I’d already seen a hundred times. Less breathlessness. And more of what the people I follow were actually thinking about, reading, and doing.”

Would your Twitter feed be more interesting if you removed all the retweets? Maybe.
